Well this new movie is not your mother's Snow White.
Snow White and the Huntsman is yet another 'retelling' of the legendary story. It wants to be tougher, grittier version, but I'm not sure if it gets that accomplished. I felt that the makers of this movie wanted to make two movies, but they didn't have completely enough material so they just jammed everything into this one. In doing so, I feel that there was no character development what so ever for any character. I didn't care what happened to anyone. Some characters die yet I had no time to even grow a connection to care.
Whether or not you like Kristen Stewart, I just can't watch her act. She always has the same look on her face, where she drops her jaw and slightly opens her mouth. All I do is just stare at her two buck teeth. It also seemed that there were way to many shots of just her face in the movie. Also her character goes from naive girl to badass warrior in flip of a switch. No training. No coaxing. She's ready to go; she's ready to lead an attack. Don't worry about it.Also thanks to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, little people are now being replaced by normal people for dwarf roles in fantasy movies. This must really piss off Peter Dinklage. I like how this was done in the LOTR, but if they start doing this in every movie, then audiences may start to bore of it.
So this retelling is suppose to make you believe that Snow White could be more than a fairy tale. They even added a big battle scene (which was very short) and war to help make it feel more realistic. Yet they give you no reason to care if they win the battle other that Snow White is goooood and Evil Queen is baaaad. There needed to be some heart felt conflict. Some type of realization point that the Evil Queen needs to be defeated by Snow White. There are so many things I want to tell you about this movie that just doesn't make any since, but I promised that I will not give out spoilers.
Instead I will suggest you see Snow White and the Huntsman, but you may want to wait for the DVD release. I give it l - Lame. It was almost Entertaining but I just can't get pass how they tried to jam so much into the movie. Although, the film making was beautiful. Some of the scenes were amazingly crafted, yet there was no substance within the story to help.
Side note - Why would anyone want to watch a Katy Perry in 3D?
